FAQ — ESTEREL Swimwear

Practical answers on sizing, fabric, pre-order, and returns for ESTEREL swimwear.

What is ESTEREL swimwear?

ESTEREL is a Riviera swimwear brand. Pieces are hardware-free, tagless, and fully double-lined, cut from Italian technical fabric and constructed in a Bali swim studio. The name references the Estérel massif on the Côte d’Azur. Independent brand — not affiliated with Faithfull the Brand or any Faithfull product once named “Esterel.”

Where can I buy ESTEREL swimwear?

Online at esterelswimwear.com. Lifestyle edit: Riviera Swim. Discovery edit: Euro Summer.

How does ESTEREL sizing work?

Sizes run XS–L and cut slim (about a half size closer than many RTW charts). Between sizes, size up. Tops and one-pieces follow bust; bottoms follow hip. See the full chart on the size guide.

What fabric does ESTEREL use?

Premium Italian technical fabric — matte, sculpting, soft to the touch, chlorine- and saltwater-resistant, sustainably produced. Every colourway is fully double-lined for opacity.

Where is ESTEREL swimwear made?

Fabric is milled in Italy. Garments are constructed in Bali by a studio that specializes in swimwear.

Is there metal hardware?

No. The entire drop is hardware-free — no rings, clasps, or bars — and tagless. Ties, shirring, and the fabric do the work.

What colours are available?

Drop 002 colourways: Nero (black), Crema (off-white), Limone (butter yellow).

How does pre-order work?

Drop 002 is made to order. You place a pre-order; we email a fulfilment / ship window with your order confirmation. We don’t list a single fixed ship date on product pages. Transit times on Shipping & Returns apply after dispatch.

What is the price range?

Bikini bottoms from $75, tops from $95, one-pieces $185–$195 (USD). No discount codes.

What is your returns policy?

14 days from delivery. Items must be unworn and unwashed with the hygiene liner intact. Pieces are tagless — tags are not required. Sale items are final sale. Full policy: Shipping & Returns.

Do you offer size exchanges?

Yes, by email while stock lasts: one size exchange per order. Return postage is yours; we cover the outbound exchange once the original clears inspection. Details on Shipping & Returns.

How should I care for ESTEREL swimwear?

Rinse after salt or chlorine. Cold hand wash when needed. Avoid tumble drying and rough surfaces that can pill technical fabric. Lay flat to dry out of direct long sun exposure when possible.

Is Euro summer a different collection?

No. Riviera is the spine — place names, Italian fabric, hardware-free craft. Euro summer / European summer is discovery language for the same Drop 002 edit. The pieces are identical whether you arrive via Riviera Swim or Euro Summer.
